Density Dependence of Larval Growth of a Marine Fish, the Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii
Abstract
Competition for food among larvae and subsequent reduction in growth rates has been proposed as a mechanism to explain the apparent density-dependent control of some exploited marine fish populations, but has received little support from field data. Growth of larvae of southern bluefin tuna, Thunnus maccoyii, in the East Indian Ocean was significantly different among stations sampled randomly within a 20-km radius. Growth rate was positively correlated with feeding rate but not with temperature, indicating that larvae were food limited to a varying degree. A negative correlation between growth rate and abundance suggested that food limitation was density dependent. Regression analysis indicated that in areas of highest larval densities there was an approximate 25% reduction in growth rate. We suggest that in areas of high abundance, larvae were competing for food, leading to a density-dependent reduction of growth rate. Because the larval stage of high mortality is prolonged, cumulative mortality of slow-growing larvae over this period may be greater, even if the mortality rate is constant.

Larvae in high-density patches may grow more slowly due to density-dependent competition for prey.
“However, larvae in high-density patches may grow more slowly due to densitydependent competition for prey (Jenkins et al. 1991).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
